Astronomy on Tap – St. Louis #1, September 24th, 2018

Astronomy on Tap is a series of world-wide events in which professional astronomers give informal talks at a local bar on topics of broad interest in astronomy and astrophysics. Each event consists of two 10-15 min talks, followed by questions and comments. Speakers will mingle with the audience between the two talks, and there will also be a trivia session with questions related to astronomy. At the end of the night prizes will be handed to the winners!

For this evening of science, astro-trivia, prizes, and beer specials (by Urban Chestnut Brewing Company), the talks will be given by Professor Ryan Ogliore from Washington University in St. Louis and Dr. Pamela Gay from the Astronomical Society of the Pacific. The titles are as follows:

“Lithic astronomy: stardust in the lab” – Prof. Ryan Ogliore (Washington University in St. Louis)
